Minimum Wage Ballot Measures
The guests talked about ballot measures in six states to raise the minimum wage above the federal level of $5.15 per hour. Twenty-three states already have a minimum wage above the federal rate. Paul Hartgen talked about the initiative in his state of Nevada to raise the minimum wage to $6.15 per hour. Nevada voters first approved a wage hike in 2004, but the state requires them to approve such measures again if the state’s constitution is to be revised. The guests responded to telephone calls and electronic mail. close
